Mother: “Tommy, I am going to 
Bpank you. Do you knovp what for?” 
Tommy (indignantly) : “ Yes. You want 
to ease your own feelings by hurting 
mine.”— Harper's Bazar. 
A MAN who used to keep a cigar store 
recently went into the butter business. 
He staggered his first customer by ask¬ 
ing if he would have it “ medium, mild 
or strong.”— Credit Lost. 
Little Ethel: “I wish I had a new 
doll.” Mamma: “Your old doll is as 
good as ever.” Little Ethel: “ Well, I 
am just as good as ever, too, but the 
angels gave you a new baby.”— Oood 
News. 
“Now I know why the milk we get 
here is so weak,” said the agricultural 
editor to the farmer with whom he was 
boarding; “I just this minute saw you 
give those cows water to drink.”— Phila¬ 
delphia Record. 
Ah, well, let the summer girl laugh 
and giggle and have a good time. In a 
few years from now she will be married 
and will wear her winter dress in sum¬ 
mer, putting on a white starched tie to 
make it look cooler.— Atchison OLohe. 
“ Martha, dost thou love me ? ” said a 
young Quaker. “Why, Seth; we are 
commanded to love each other ! ” “ Ah, 
Martha, but dost thou feel what the 
world calls love?” “I hardly know 
what to tell thee, Seth. I have tried to 
bestow my love upon all, but I have 
sometimes thought, perhaps, that thou] 
wast getting more than thy share.”— 
Life. 
“ Don’t you,” said the summer boarder, 
“sometimes envy the city people who 
come here with nothing to do but re¬ 
create?” “No,” replied Farmer Corn- 
tossel, “ I dunno’s I do. I swing the 
scythe tell I git right tired an’ ’magine it 
lorn tennis, an’ set out on the front 
forch ter be bit by the mersquiters of 
evenin’s, an’ manage ter hev ’bout ez 
good a time ez the rest of ’em.”— Wash¬ 
ington Star.

“A Florida “long horn” was disporting 
herself In an orange grove when she ran 
plumb Into a Page Pence. Her tall made 
a wbi.sk at the clouds and for one second she 
was as completely wrong end up as if hung 
on the windlass In a butcher shop, then 
measured her length on the ground. She was 
unhurt and gave her u.sual mess of milk right 
along. 1 saw this myself.” Thus writes
